I know there’s a whole thread but this is a very narrow question. I’m going to be car camping in grizzly country. I have three possible contenders for guns to keep in camp, in addition to a big can of bear spray. My three gun choices are:
375 Ruger bolt gun with 300 grain RN
12 gauge pump with slugs
M1 Garand (30-06) with 200gr handloads
The reason I included the Garand is the thought that if a big bear is within spray distance it might also be within the range where bump firing off a whole 8 round clip might be possible. That’s probably silly, but it came to mind.
Of these three choices which would be best?
